What You Didn't Know About Alex Trebek's Wife

Posted by Tandra Barner on Saturday, May 18, 2024

Alex Trebek first crossed paths with his future wife, then Jean Currivan, at a party in 1998 (via Newsweek). The pair hit it off immediately, and married in 1990. Jean was a New York native and an accomplished businesswoman who worked as a professional sound healer, Reiki master and Religious Science practitioner. More recently, she co-founded the blog insidewink.

After her husband's cancer diagnosis, Jean was able to use her gifts to help Alex through a painful time, playing her sound-healing crystal bowls. "It comes from a place of love, because I want to uplift him...and when I keep my own self buoyed and enjoying my life, I can actually share that with him. He can look at me and have a sense of 'life is beautiful, my wife is doing something good,'" she told Survivornet in 2019.

Jean shared that her work often sees her helping people who are going through tough times. "Just ask the universe, 'What's the next step for me?'" she advised Surviornet. "The universe will always respond. I am absolutely sure that we live in a benevolent universe that is always conspiring for our highest and greatest good."
